Dylan is a TEDx Speaker and Addiction Recovery Advocate. His mission is to work with individuals and organizations to increase engagement in the addiction recovery process and improve long-term outcomes. He also likes to dance and do karaoke.
In Dylan's words:
"Addiction is a chronic state of isolation, disconnection, and suppression. We can liken it to living in the dark. When we are living in the dark, we are living in an absence of light; of information. Expression is the road on which we reconnect to ourselves and the world. It’s the way in which we turn the lights back on. By creating a safe culture for authentic expression, we make it possible for therapeutic experiences to occur. These experiences, grounded in self-expression, and contained in a safe way, drastically improve metrics associated with recovery: connection, vitality, wellbeing."
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Expression is the antidote to suppression (and disconnection)
2. Expression happens in the body, not the mind
3. Community is an essential ingredient

Kara Fernstrom: doer of things. Kara is a complex person with a complicated past. Less of an expert, and more of a lifelong learner, Kara spends all of her extra moments exploring wellbeing, happiness, and recording these fascinating conversations for the world to hear. A double whammy of vulnerability exposure therapy and tangible lessons and thoughts, her podcast, The Conquest of Bliss has literally transformed her life. Outside of the podcast, Kara spends her days making art, practising self-care, and trying to make the world a little nicer through relationships and interactions with other people.
In Kara's words:
Happiness and Well-being are big subjects with far-reaching consequences. Unravelling these ideas can be (and is, for many) a full-time job. Positive psychology, mindfulness, and self-compassion are all finally coming into vogue, but where do you find the time to sort out what all of these different ideas mean? Curiously, the curse of chronic illness, and consequently getting forced out of the workforce, blessed Kara with exactly that: time. And oh boy has she learned some fascinating things about happiness and is always excited to share them!
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Self compassion is key. How would you want someone to treat your best friend? Shouldn't you treat your best friend's best friend that way?
2. Read about how the brain works. Neuroscience, psychology, and similar studies help to unravel things that feel super mysterious.
3. Practice mindfulness to start understanding how your specific brain works. Mindfulness helps to clarify things that get clouded in emotion and trauma.

Lydia Knorr has over two decades in the health and wellness industry, with the greatest part of her career, working in media. She has combined her passion for well-being and people engagement to provide coaching programs in the areas of personal growth, connection to self, and positive change. She helps others get to the heart of what truly matters to them and demonstrates how becoming more of themselves, not less, is exactly what the world needs. Lydia says that honoring our own uniqueness and extending that out into the world is the reason we are all here.
In Lydia's words:
Our personal stories are as unique as a fingerprint. Whether filled with hope, despair, victories, losses, darkness, or light, they are a collection of the lessons we’ve learned, the wisdom we’ve gained, and the growth we’ve experienced. They enable us to connect the dots of our lives, and create a roadmap to see how we arrived at the place we are today. This provides us with a depth of understanding about our own uniqueness that can be used as a gift and a guide for creating a window into our future and making our mark on the world.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Practice self-awareness and get really honest with yourself about who you are and what you want from this life.
2. Adapt a positive mindset by looking for the silver linings in every situation, even when it’s hard. Ask yourself: What’s good about this situation? What can I learn from it? Is there something about this situation I can be grateful for? Hint: the answer is almost always a resounding YES.
3. Live in alignment with the things you value most, and you will get the most out of living.

Dianne Simboro is a Master Coach, Trainer, Behavioural Profiler and Hypnotherapist. She established Family Violence Mindset Solutions and How to Thrive After Family Violence to teach survivors of family violence strategies to fast-track their recovery process and how to recognise the strategies of perpetrators of violence.
Dianne had an interracial marriage and started out in a small West African country where she didn’t speak the language, didn’t understand the culture and stood out in a crowd. But in just 12 months she created a successful but small Art Business starting from scratch, all while being pregnant with her first daughter.
After an abusive marriage that lasted 27 years and another 10 years spent working with survivors of family violence, Dianne found that once women were able to recognise the strategies used by their abusers, they had the tools needed to eliminate all of the hooks that were once used as a means of control over them and they could avoid getting caught again. But it became very clear to Dianne that new love and the early stages of abuse are almost identical and it was necessary to help women clearly distinguish the difference between the two.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. If a man sounds almost too good to be true, he probably is.
2. Switch on your head and switch off your heart before deciding to commit to a new relationship.
3. Say “no” early and stand back and watch - because abusers don’t like the word “no”.

After having successfully run several businesses including a children’s yoga and art centre, and an online business management consultancy - Lisa Kelly now coaches by offering transformative programs 'In The Art Of Living Your Dreams' through her business - Life Unlimited.
Her own life journey from career to entrepreneur as a single mother - while getting sober, has not always been easy but with a profound shift in mindset and a commitment to becoming the best version of herself, she has been able to find purpose and passion inspiring others to find the courage to make the inner changes necessary for external transformation.
In Lisa’s words:
“Our external world is a reflection of our internal world....
Your whole life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go on in your head…
By understanding how powerful our subconscious mind is, we can release old programming, BELIEVE that anything is possible, harness our infinite potential and leverage the support of the Universe. “
Lisa’s 3 top tips:
1. You don’t have to know HOW the big dream is going to manifest. You worry about the ‘what’ - let the Universe take care of the ‘how’.
2. Act as if you’re already your future self - behave and make decisions from that place of ‘already being there’.
3. If you’re in a place of ‘I don’t even know what I want’, or lacking clarity on a big vision, then start from the place of ‘how do I want to FEEL’? This will start to bring desires into focus.

Greg Cawley is a yoga teacher based in Queensland Australia. After a midlife crisis as a result of the GFC and the then failure of his marriage, Greg decided (in his 50s) to retrain as a yoga teacher after experience the changes in his life once he discovered yoga. Greg’s business “BrikMan Yoga” offers Men Only Classes with the slogan: ‘No Sheilas. No Lycra. Just Blokes.’ Greg is also an author and has just published his first book “Real men Do Downward Dog”.
Greg is passionate about yoga and its amazing benefits for men of all ages. In his own words:
"Men, we hit our 40s. Life pressures are building up and weighing us down
Trying to balance family needs, career and jobs, financial pressure, time pressure, when to find time to fit in exercise and the inevitable physical decline.
How do we cope?
Most of us don’t!
We turn to alcohol, drugs, sex, distractions like Netflix. These are just coping strategies but not great ones.
Relationships suffer or fail, it’s all too much.
How do we deal with this?
I am going to suggest that yoga may just be the answer
I want to talk to you about that!"
Greg's top 3 tips:
1. Shit happens to us all, expect it. Its how we manage it that matters
2. A support network is essential in difficult times
3. Be open to new ideas and ways to improve your life
